Step 3: Next secure the other end of the thread, string two 15o As and sew the needle up through the first bead added to this step (photo a-3). Position the beads the closest you can near the quartz bead on the right side. Then use the square stitch:
Step 5: Then pick up the other end of the thread and sew the needle up through the two 15oAs (at the left) of the beaded strip (photo a-8).
Step 6: Secure the other end of the thread, string one 15o A, skip one bead and sew the needle through the next two 15oAs (photo a-9). Then sew the needle up through the leaf bead, flower bead, 2mm zircon (photo a-10), then sew back through the leaf bead, flower and exit through the opposite 15o A bead. Then secure the other end of the thread, string one 15o A, skip one bead and sew the needle through the next two 15oAs (photo a-11).
Step 7: Next exiting 15o A bead string one 15o A bead and sew the needle to the left through the 15o A bead you added at the step 6, then string 15o A bead and sew the needle to the right through the last 15o A (photo a-12).
Step 8: Secure the other end of the thread and repeat step 7 at the opposite side (photo a-13).
Step 9: Next exiting 15o A bead sew the needle up through the next 15o A bead (photo a-13) then string one 2x1.5mm micro round bead, skip the middle bead and sew the needle diagonally through the other rows 15o A bead (photo a-14). Then sew the needle to the left through the opposite 15o A bead, go diagonally through the 2x1.5mm micro bead (photo a-15) and exit through the 15o A bead (opposite 15o A bead you started) (photo a-15).
Step 10: Next sew the needle down to the left through the opposite 15o A, then string one 8x2.5mm glass honey ring, one soldered 4mm jump-ring, one 3mm smoky quartz bead and sew the needle back through the jump-ring, glass ring and exit through the opposite 15o A bead (photo a-16). Secure the thread tale in the beadwork and trim.
Step 11: Next secure the other end of the thread, exit one lower 15o A bead, string one 2mm avocado Zircon bead and exit through the next 15o A bead (photo a-17). Secure the thread tale in the beadwork with a few half-hitch knots and trim.
Step 12: Next pick up the 4mm jump-ring, open it, slide on it the 7.5x5mm oval jump-ring (photo a-18). Then slide the 4mm jump-ring through the micro bead and close the 4mm jump-ring (photo a-19,20).
Suggestion: Instead of the 3mm Smoky Quartz bead you can add any other gemstone bead like amethyst or cranberry color 3mm zircon bead. Play with the pendant and add to the golden chain other pendants like the smoky quartz, gold-finished sterling silver, 9x8mm-11x8mm hand-cut faceted cone drop.
